Embroidery Stitch Video Tutorial: Backstitch
Another simple hand-embroidery stitch, the backstitch is useful in many applications. It's commonly seen in counted-thread embroidery, like counted cross stitch, but it's also used often in free-style surface embroidery. Below, you'll find a video tutorial for this stitch.
You can use backstitch to make bold lines or delicate lines, depending on the fabric, thread, and needle you decide to use. There are several variations of backstitch, including the whipped backstitch and Holbein stitch (or running backstitch). You can find more detailed written instructions on this stitch here.

Mary, Your videos and descriptions are great. Thank you for making them available. I'm teaching a young person basic embroidery and finding your videos so helpful. Have linked to your videos in my blog article on making a puppet. with great appreciation, Jane
Thank you so much for these videos! They're so nice. I wasn't sure how written descriptions on other sites were going to help me learn very easily. And, thank you for starting with the basic stitches...
Thanks again.
I love these little videos. They are so helpful for a beginner like me. I hope this website stays put for a long time while I learn to stitch. Thanks so much.
That was so helpful. I could not figure it out till I say it done.
A self-taught (teaching, actually!) newbie here. Thank you so much for these videos! Reading stitch descriptions was not helping very much - seeing it done is an immense help. I appreciate your site so much!
Thatnk you so much for these videos! They're great and extremely helpful.
The videos are helpful; thanks. I actually know how to do basic embroidery, but am always looking for tips and additional teaching. I wonder if in the next set of videos. if you could also give us some tips about navigating smooth curves. Again, thanks much.
Nice video thank you
